Chapter 441 Catalina’s Jealousy Time Apprentice Cassili
The negotiation process.
It is a long and difficult journey.
The tripartite negotiating team in the conference room represented the interests of the forces behind each and expressed their views and demands without flinching.
Even though this is the home ground of the Noxus Empire, they still use sharp words and powerful arguments to support their interests, trying to persuade the other two parties to accept their position.
After long discussions and negotiations.
The three parties present gradually realized that only through compromise can consensus be reached.
They began to put aside their previous antagonisms, seek common ground and solutions, and finally reached a simple agreement.
Although this agreement does not mean that all differences disappear.
But it at least opens up a new path for Shurima's future.
As night fell, the lights in the conference room gradually dimmed, and the negotiating delegations from both parties walked out of the conference room tired and satisfied.
They left temporarily and stayed in a nearby hotel to rest and prepare to continue negotiations the next day.
Huo Jixing and Catalina stood at the door of the mansion, bidding farewell to the negotiating delegation.
Huo Jixing believes that this negotiation will be a complete success, but the final result will depend on the degree of concessions in the interests of the three parties.
“Huh?”
Huo Jixing seemed to have noticed something. He raised his eyebrows and noticed the dull young man in the Xerath delegation.
This dull young man was following the team away step by step. He behaved extremely calmly from beginning to end and paid little attention to the negotiations.
But Huo Jixing was aware of it, and the dull young man was always observing him silently.
"Interesting, the person chosen by Zelas is not simple."
Huo Jixing whispered softly, the calm eyes of the dull young man reflected in his mind, faintly revealing a hint of unfathomable It means, as if there is some important secret hidden.
The general's residence was quiet in the dead of night.
The bright starlight penetrates the clouds and falls on the elegant courtyard.
At the door of the bedroom, a snow-white poro lay lying on its back, its paws on its forelimbs stretched out, stroking the cold ground.
Inside the house.
Katrina's long crimson hair was spread on her white back, her eyes were like water, turning into endless affection, and she nestled in Huo Jixing's arms.
Her disordered breathing gradually became calmer, with a hint of satisfaction at the corners of her lips, and her fingers gently touched the red-gold marks.
“What do you think about the marriage?”
Katerina thought of the marriage mentioned by Nasus during the day and spoke softly.
"If Azir wants to cooperate with the empire, His Majesty Swain and the Trifali Council will need to make a decision."
Huo Jixing reached out and stroked Catalina's well-proportioned body, sniffing The aroma on the tip of the nose.
"We just need to report the negotiation, and that's it."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he was fascinated by Catalina's undulating body, which was like a masterpiece carved by nature.
The perfect combination of erect, plump and slender, somewhat thrilling.
“But I see that Sivir’s look at you is a bit complicated.” Catalina curled up in Huo Jixing’s arms and murmured.
Huo Jixing opened his slightly narrowed eyes, his gaze fell on Catalina's crimson face, and he shook his head helplessly.
"What are you thinking about?"
"What do you think of Sivir?"
Katrina didn't seem to hear Huo Jixing's question, raised her face, and stared at the handsome face.
“The fact that she can participate in this negotiation meeting shows that Azir values her very much.”
Hearing Catalina’s words, Huo Jixing couldn’t help but think about it. Sivir's beautiful face.
Different from the time in Vicoula, Sivir was seriously injured at that time and his expression was as pale as paper.
But now she has a more graceful and luxurious aura. It is the power of bloodline given to her by Azir that is reviving.
Azir’s bloodline is called the descendant of the Eagle King, the bloodline of the Sun.
It is the most noble bloodline in the Shurima Empire!
After Huo Jixing pondered for a while, he thought of Nasus, who was with him in the negotiation delegation, and said in a solemn voice.
"Sivir is Azir's only existing bloodline!"
"In order to avoid the Sun Bloodline War at the end of the Shurima Empire, Azir is likely to regard Sivir as his heir."
With the power Azir now controls, sending a powerful Ascendant like Nasus to protect Sivir is enough to explain everything.
Sivir's fate is closely tied to Shurima's future.
"So, it is basically impossible for Sivir to become a victim of marriage." Huo Jixing synthesized all the information and came to a conclusion.
"Really?"
Catalina smelled a hint of uneasiness and hugged Huo Jixing's body tightly, enjoying the warmth in her arms.
Huo Jixing has a keen sense and clearly sees Catalina's emotional changes.
Looking at the flat curve in front of him, he was determined to use his actions to give Catalina some confidence.
The bed swayed.
The chirping of autumn cicadas echoed through the house.
The undulating white greasy waves gradually subsided as time passed.
Katerina fell asleep with a tired look, but the figure of Cassiopeia flashed through her mind.
In recent times, Cassiopeia's whereabouts have been elusive, as if she was always deliberately avoiding Catalina and Huo Jixing.
When they met occasionally, Catalina also noticed that Cassiopeia looked at Huo Jixing, and something seemed wrong.
It's both a bit alienated and somewhat complicated.
Finally, fatigue came over her, and Catalina fell into a deep sleep with her hazy consciousness.
The next morning.
The rays of dawn are like a gentle painter, covering the general's mansion with a layer of rays of rays of color with a delicate palette.
Huo Jixing and Catalina got up and were enjoying the sumptuous breakfast served by the maid.
This was specially arranged by Mrs. Soleana, who was a person who had been there.
Compared to Huo Jixing and Catalina, Mrs. Soleana understands the taste of food among young people.
Especially after a night of activities, their appetite is even stronger, and every bite of food is full of flavor.
Suddenly, a soldier from the Reiser Guard Corps hurried over, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
"The Zerath delegation sent people to visit Lord Huo Jixing, hoping to meet." The soldier of Leiser's garrison lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Who is it?" Catalina stretched her waist lazily, showing off her graceful figure.
"Casili!"
Hearing this, Huo Jixing frowned slightly and tried to recall the information from his past life, but he had no impression of this unfamiliar name.
"Maybe we should meet." He saw Catalina's questioning eyes and nodded slowly.
Yesterday, their meeting with Nasus and Sivir did not avoid Xerath's delegation.
Failure to do so may involve a delicate balance between the two forces.
In the living room, the atmosphere is solemn.
Huo Jixing looked from a distance, and the dull young man of the Xerath delegation came into view.
Is it him?
The dull young man seemed not to realize that he was receiving attention, and still maintained a silent posture.
Until he heard the footsteps behind him, Kasili turned back to look at Huo Jixing, his calm eyes rippling.
“I’ve met Master Huo Jixing.” Kasili was wearing a yellow robe and bowed in salute. "Is there something urgent about coming to visit so early?" Huo Jixing led Catalina into the living room and sat down at the main seat.
He was indeed a little curious about Cassili. The ancient energy in his body was very mysterious, which aroused his strong interest.
Kasili's eyes swept over the famous Catalina, and then he met Huo Jixing's deep eyes and spoke slowly.
"Can we talk alone?"
Huo Jixing looked puzzled and stared at Cassili in front of him, as if he wanted to see something from his dull face.
He could feel that Cassili had something very important to say, but it was difficult to say it because of Catalina's presence.
Seeing Huo Jixing's doubts and hesitation, Catalina stood up and left naturally.
“You guys talk.”
When Catalina left, only Kasili and Huo Jixing were left in the living room.
Kasili no longer looked dull, looked at Huo Jixing with burning eyes, and continued to speak.
“I have used the power of time to enter the river of time in Runeterra, but I have never seen you in the present and future time.”
“You seem to not exist in the river of time. There doesn’t even exist Runeterra here!”
Hearing Kasili’s words, Huo Jixing’s pupils instantly tightened, and a flash of red-gold flame filled his eyes.
[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!
Huo Jixing went all out to observe the power in Cassili's body, intending to see the nature of the ancient energy.
But in the end he could only see an invisible flowing energy lingering in Cassili's body.
"Have you seen my origin?"
Huo Jixing's face remained calm, but in fact, there was a wave deep in his heart.
This was the first time anyone had doubted his origins in person.
But Huo Jixing was not troubled by his emotions. With his current strength, only doubt was not enough.
Perhaps, even suspicion cannot affect him.
Subsequently, Huo Jixing quickly captured the key information from Kasili’s words.
“Time? You said you have entered the river of time?”
"Yes!"
Kasili didn't hide anything, his eyes were firm and calm, and he nodded directly to confirm.
Before coming, Kasili had obtained some intelligence information about Huo Jixing from Xerath, and understood that he was a star spirit bearer.
During the ancient Shurima Empire, a star spirit bearer had an extremely noble status and could be called a living god.
They are endowed with great power and can control the power of the stars.
With Cassili's strength, he was far from being able to compare with such a being, let alone understand the origin of a star spirit bearer.
But the existence behind him can do it easily.
When Huo Jixing thought about it, there were only a few people in Valoran who could control the power of time.
His location is the continent of Shurima.
And Kasili’s dress does not look like a desert style.
"Guardian of Time, Jilan, who are you?" Huo Jixing asked in a deep voice, as if he had guessed something.
"It's my mentor." Kasili said.
He stood in front of Huo Jixing, feeling the terrifying aura emitted by the other party due to his surging thoughts, and his heart was filled with awe and curiosity.
Although it is not as good as Kieran, it is not far behind.
This is a rare opportunity. He will witness the power of the protoss bearer with his own eyes, and may even learn some of the secrets of the protoss.
Sure enough it was him.
Time Guardian Kieran!
Huo Jixing's heart moved. After leaving the rock village, he learned about the history of Icasia, the forgotten land.
Kieran was once a member of the Icathia Governing Council.
During the nearly thousand years of rule of the Shurima Empire, a gifted elemental mage was born in the land of Icathia.
Kieran!
In the records of many ancient books.
He has an extremely far-reaching influence on Icathia, Ixtal, including the ancient Shurima Empire and other countries.
When young Kieran became an official elemental mage.
He demonstrated a far superior understanding of physical facts and studied under the guidance of the greatest minds of his time——
From the great nurturing grace of Ixtar, to the star-controlling mage of Faraj, there are countless masters and masters.
In the physical realm, there is an element that almost no one can truly understand.
And Kieran decided to master it.
It is.
Time!
Time is a constant that all things cannot escape.
Even the majestic warriors of the gods are not immune to the wear and tear caused by the passage of time.
Even though they hold the highest status in Shurima culture.
Kieran's rapid growth allowed him to successfully join the Icathia Governing Council and become a member of the ruling class.
In order to study the power of time more deeply, Kiran and the Icathia Council wrote petitions to the emperor in the capital again and again.
I hope to get a qualification for ascension.
However, their expectations for the solar disk were repeatedly rejected without any reason.
Icasia has paid so much, but it seems that she will never be treated equally.
Soon afterwards, the famous Icathian War of Independence took place.
A war that affects the fate of Icathia and the ancient Shurima Empire.
Kieran is a patriot through and through.
But in the face of the Ascended Army, any rebellion will only lead to suffering for the people.
Kieran knew that Icathia could not withstand the suppression of the ancient Shurima Empire, and began to seek a diplomatic way out.
He made many allies in his life, in Ixtar, in Carrick, in Kalduga and other small country territories.
When he implored them to stand with Icathia, the answer was the same every time.
They will not openly fight Shurima.
If the people of Kilan insist on having their own way, they will have to fight alone.
Wait until Kiran returns to Icathia.
The war of destiny begins.
The terrifying power of the void is guided. It descended on the land of Icathia and immediately engulfed the mages who tried to control it.
Then
Icacia was destroyed!
It was at this desperate moment that Kieran touched the element of time and achieved the impossible.
In front of the Void Power and the Ascended Legion, he directly removed a corner of the capital of Icathia from time.
Also left the name of the guardian of time.
"Is Kieran's gaze a trace of his spying on the land of Icacia?" Huo Jixing thought to himself.
He learned some facts based on the information revealed by Kasiri.
‘I have not seen you in the present and future times! ’
This shows that Cassili has seen Huo Jixing in the past.
The predecessor of Huo Jixing was indeed a wanderer. Affected by the war, he wandered from the Ionian Islands to the Noxus Empire.
But why can’t I see myself now and in the future?
Is it because of my status as a time traveler?
Or is it the influence of the power of the stars?
